Canine Partners aims to assist people with disabilities in achieving greater independence in helping them into education and employment, through the provision of specially trained dogs for the disabled.

Canine Partners tailor make the dogs to each applicant’s individual needs by training them to help with everyday tasks such as opening and shutting doors, unloading the washing machine, picking up dropped items, pressing buttons and switches and getting help in an emergency.

Dogs are trained for the disabled with even the most complex conditions.

Canine Partner dogs also provide practical, physiological, psychological and social benefits including increased independence and confidence as well as increased motivation and self-esteem. A canine partner also brings companionship, a sense of security and increases social interaction.

Canine Partners is based in West Sussex but covers all mainland UK.
